If you extend your loving hand
To give a warm gift,
You will receive a handful
Of fire that will be
Tossed in your face.
You will burn for being
Sympathetic.
You will suffer
For picking the rose petal of  
Love to present to another.

Embrace the betrayal
Because that is the price
Of a great life.

Expect nothing from that person
After doing
What is right.

That is the price of a great
Life.
